Hard to believe that hurricane season is just peaking and we are already on "S". Two more months of hurricane season yet to go. Lots of wind right now but so far no rain. **nononono*
Tropical Storm Sally develops, as heavy rain expected to hit Florida, Gulf Coast this weekend
Heavy tropical rainfall is expected in Florida and the eastern Gulf Coast this weekend, following flash flooding earlier in the week as multiple storm systems swirl through the Tropics.
Tropical Depression Nineteen turned into Tropical Storm Sally Saturday afternoon and is expected to move west-northwestward or northwestward over the next couple of days.
Sally originally formed Friday afternoon less than 100 miles east-southeast of Miami
"The center is forecast to move over the southeastern and eastern Gulf of Mexico later today and Sunday, and then move over the north-central Gulf of Mexico Sunday night and Monday," the National Hurricane Center said at 2 p.m. ET Saturday.
Sally is expected to become a hurricane by late Monday, with rainfall of 3-6 inches along the Gulf Coast from Florida to southeast Louisiana. Southern Alabama, Mississippi and southeast Louisiana could get 2-4 inches of rainfall farther inland.
A separate system, Tropical Storm Paulette could potentially slam into Bermuda early next week as a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 mph, and Rene is in a similar position, located over the central Atlantic.
The tropical wave in the Gulf could bring 2 to 6 inches of rain from Florida to southern Alabama.............

Meh... just another storm.
Hopefully the last of the storms for this area for this year -- I don't want to deal with dodging a hurricane -- I am getting too dang old!
